For this recipe you’ll need:

  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
    1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and lightly crushed
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon agave nectar or honey
    1/3 to 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
    Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups baby spinach
    2 oranges, cut into segments
    1/2 jicama, peeled and cut into julienne
    1/4 cup pepitas, toasted
    1/3 cup queso fresco, crumbled
      1. To prepare the vinaigrette, whisk together the lime juice, cumin, garlic and agave nectar or honey. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking quickly to create an emulsion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      2. In a large salad bowl, mix together the spinach, orange segments, jicama and pepitas.

      3. Dress with just enough of the vinaigrette to coat. Place on salad plates and top with a sprinkling of queso fresco.
